The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks

North Dakota State Elks Association

Welcome to the North Dakota Elks Association virtual home page. The North Dakota Elks Association is comprised of eight lodges. This makes the North Dakota Elks Association one of the smaller associations in our nationwide fraternity. Although we are small in number we boast three past Grand Exalted Rulers as having come from our ranks. Our current sponsor Past Grand Exalted Ruler John T. Traynor of Devils Lake Lodge #1216 was preceded in this high office of Grand Exalted Ruler by Ray Dobson of Minot Lodge #1089 and by Sam Stern of Fargo Lodge #260, both now of the lodge everlasting. Our association of lodges was formed to unite all North Dakota Elks in a closer bond of fraternity and to further fellowship and promote goals of the BPOE. We invite you to click on our state major project for an overview of a true North Dakota treasure and our major project, Elks Camp Grassick. Visit us often and leave a message on our message board. Once again, welcome and thanks for visiting.
